river corridor management

River corridor management involves planning and maintaining the land along a river to protect ecosystems, prevent flooding, and support sustainable use. It includes managing water quality, vegetation, and development within a designated zone that follows the river’s path. The goal is to balance ecological health, safety, and human activities by implementing policies, regulations, and restoration efforts that preserve the natural functions of the river and its surroundings while allowing responsible use. Effective management ensures rivers remain healthy and resilient for future generations, supporting both biodiversity and community needs.
